Eli bought the workshop a bicycle. It is a great cruiser that he scored in a charity auction.

I am hoping we come up with a trick name for it.

We had some initial seat problems, but those have since been worked out. Riding this two-wheeled smile-machine is greatness. Eli has a BOB around somewhere. Perhaps we can fuse the two.

The other bikes in the shop include my Pinarello named Raggedy-Anne. There are two of us that ride pretty much every day. Soapdish generally gets in once or twice a week on bicycle. For my commute I use the Messenger.

I use it because of the full-on retro-reflective tape. In the fall/winter/spring my almost all of my commute is in the dark here in Seattle. And the full three strips of that tape on my back help me feel more visible on my commute.

And if we could just get some proximity sensors to open the front door automagically, local shop errands would be hard fought over this summer.

Finally there is Bene’s bicycle. It gets plenty of looks from bicycle aficionados. It is an original Chicago Schwinn named BOSS.

The Big Orange Shiny Schwinn.
